Abstract
In this work, the effect of electrochemical oxidation treatments of activated carbon fibers (ACFs) was studied in heavy metal adsorption behaviors. As a result, the acidic or basic anodic treatment led to increases of Cr(VI), Cu(II), and Ni(II) adsorptions, which could be attributed to the oxygen-containing functional groups of the ACF surfaces.
